No FFFC yet?!?

[laurack]

oh forgot about fffc!

I have been hit or miss with recycling lately. I am so lazy/tired. Sometimes I just don't want to rinse out the damn yogurt carton so I just throw it in the trash. I feel vaguely bad but not bad enough I guess.

[puppylove64]

I probably wouldn't tell anyone in real life, but I'm kicking myself hard for leaving my previous job

[silverjm]

I'm kind of disappointed there wasn't a PIP in gisa's MP thread.

I had two pieces of pie for breakfast this morning. Happy Pi Day!

[puppylove64]

Next Saturday is my cousin's wedding in FL and we have known for months and planned to go. Last night dh realized it is his son's first track meet next Saturday. I'm going to be pissed if dh stays here, but at the same time it sure would be more convenient. I could stay with my mom and not pay for a seperate hotel, and I would probably enjoy myself more. He would wine all weekend about missing the meet

For two seconds last night I thought about punching Dylan in the face. He was pushing every damn button! I am not cut out to deal with kids over the age of 2 and Lyla will be 2 in just over a month.

No, I'm passengering . I DID drive last weekend! It was… frightening lol. I drove to meet my Grandpa for something and he gave me parallel parking lessons while we were together (he taught drivers ed for many years). Then when I arrived back in the city I thought about attempting to parallel park, but then I called my husband and made him do it for me. FAIL.

You need a break, can you get one this weekend?

[Regina Philange]

Trudy- I drive everyday and still can't parallel park. I suck. If I need to do it I can, but it takes me about 15 minutes. Lol

OMG parallel parking when there are actually other cars on the road is something I avoid at all costs. I will park a mile away and walk before I attempt it lol

THE STRESS. People are behind you. Then you might rush it and just crash into the other cars you are trying to park between! aaaah

I get irrationally annoyed when I hear J pooping. Almost two years later, and I STILL hate changing poopy diapers. And, he never seems to go when my H is home. Even on weekends, he manages to go when DH is in the shower or something.

YES that is precisely what happened! I thought about attempting it and then other cars started turning down the street I was on. 

NO.

We were walking through Hoboken last weekend, and there was someone parallel parking.  We watched him crash right into the car behind him.  It was kind of funny.  He did get out and check for damage, but I'm not sure if he left a note or anything.

[biblionerd]

My mom watched Fiona and ruby yesterday am so I could take Linus to preschool. I ran some errands with him afterward and it was the first time I'd ever taken him or f out alone since they were older. It was fun and he enjoyed it so much and it was so easy to not have to get out the dbl stroller or figure out how to fit three. I feel like if be a much better mom with 1 kid and that he'd be happier and we would run around and do stuff all of the time. It was the first time I took a kid out and actually felt like pre-mom me running errands. It was easy honestly by comparison of the chaos of going out with 2, nonetheless 3. It made me jealous of other moms of only kids and I had a few second thoughts that maybe Linus (or one of the others) would be happier if he was an only and I could actually do stuff with him.

NO.

yeah even if the street is quiet I am afraid to start because I'd be halfway through and then a car would come up behind me and I'd start panicking!! 

the ease at which my husband parallel parks irks me but I suppose he's been driving for over 20 years and I just learned (and still avoid it whenever I can and have him drive which doesn't help. I DON'T LIKE DRIVING!!! YOU CAN DIEEEEE. Or crash the car and then feel like an idiot/have to deal with the cost of repairs. the pressure is great)

What's a little bumper cars when parallel parking?

I don't get out to check for damage when thir this happens and I'm parking. To be fair, I've never gone fast or hard, but I've tapped other cars while parking. It's normal here.

Agree, if you are street parking it is just expected that your bumper will end up looking like hell.

I always try to do stuff alone with each child at least once a week, even if it's just going to the grocery for an hour. It's especially nice for Juliana because she was the only child for 4.5 years.

My FFFC is that I like my future MIL more than I do my mom right now.

[orriskitten]

I went to Wendy's yesterday and had a triple burger. Yes, TRIPLE. (without most of the bread)

I could have eaten a second one of them right after.

Dh was impressed. I think his words were "you actually finished all of it? Oh my God. Wow, pregnancy. "

[helicase]

Ok, this is mortifying, but it's confession day, right?

My work bathroom has two stalls. The bathroom was empty when I went and did my business. I flushed and walked out without a glance backwards. As I'm washing my hands, a coworker came in. We smiled at each other and then she went into the stall I had been in. I hear "EW" and a toilet flush and then she walks into the other stall. OMG, did my "business" not flush? Am I the notorious phantom pooper that only exists in myths and legends?? I'm clinging to the hope that she thinks I had just come out of the "clean" stall. I have not acknowledged the incident and never will.

Boring flamefuls:

After someone posted about it on here, I put cream cheese in my steel cut oats this morning. So delicious! I added splenda and it tasted like oatmeal cheesecake mmmm

I got addicted to helping my in laws with a puzzle last night and now I want to buy one to do at my house. I am officially a 60 year old

Yeah, it definitely made me realize I need to do this. Then I felt bad again because the few times I get to escape to the super exciting grocery store I just want to be alone. :/

I had a date with a 26 year old. I'm almost 5 years older than him but omg y'all, he's pretty. I'm going to see him again next. He seems to have his shit together and seems more mature than the other 30 something's I've talked to.

HAHA! I totally understand that too. If you have the option to trade out with your spouse, that can help you get a break. I do not keep any sort of track or score, but I do try to plan ahead to get a tiny bit of alone time with them and then for myself which is harder now that I'm a single mom.

My parents watched The girls when I went out last night. I totally assumed my dad would bring C up and put her in her crib like he's done before, so when I came home at a ridiculous hour and she wasn't in the living room, I figured she was in her crib and I went to bed. Nope. She was in bed with my mom. Whoops. Oh well. She slept like a champ.

I am slightly hungover this morning and have every intention of having a whopper for lunch. With Mcdonalds fries. And a frosty from Wendy's. Yep. That's happening.

Why is this not an option IN ONE PLACE?!?
